    Tell me about my 1980 70hp Evinrude E70elcsa

    Your measurement means nothing. The important measurement is from the top of the transom to the cavitation plate. You have a 20" motor on a 20" transom nothing wrong there. That is what motors look like when they are mounted correctly.

    Is a 2010 Tohatsu 90 TLDI the same as a Mercury of any type ?

    Pretty sure Tohatsu licenses Optimax technology and calls it TLDI. So there might be some crossover on parts.

    Mercury 9.9 propshaft removal from bearing carrier

    The OPs lower was built in 86 not recently. It was a junk design from the beginning. It was meant for 6 and 8 hp motors anything bigger and they started getting torn up.

    Tell me about my 1980 70hp Evinrude E70elcsa

    Put up a pic of the back of the boat. The propshaft 7" below the pad sounds right. Shaft length is measured from the transom hook to the cavitation plate, not the prop shaft. Exhaust cover gaskets like to leak on that motor, look for water intrusion in the cylinders. Normal to be trimmed all...

    For anyone owning a Mercosil 15/20/25 hp motor. Change the water pump every 2 yrs and use good quality oil. The motor will last a good long time if you do those 2 things.

    Mercury 9.9 propshaft removal from bearing carrier

    It does not surprise me at all that shaft looks like that. The 9.9 Mercury does not have the most robust lower unit, Frail and easy to damage. McCulloch never made a 9.9.

    1958 SCOTT 60 HP FUEL PUMP

    Those were never sold with the electric fuel pump. They were shown having as having one, I believe that was a typo because that was the same time McCulloch bought them. I think Scott may have wanted an electric fuel pump but McCulloch changed that. I have an early 58 that actually say...

    Leaking case halves/Crankcase

    Sounds like it was not torqued correctly. If you used loc tite 518 it needs 24 hrs to set up without primer.

    Find a new machine shop. It can absolutely be honed and no way should it be 300 a hole. I am in Wi and it is around a 100-150 a hole.

    Reliability of 1998 25hp EH

    Why do you need new rods? Maybe Racerone knows a machine shop because Mercosil needs special tools. $500 for the rebuild kit $300 for boring that includes both holes and shipping. Reeds another 100 and rods you should not need to replace unless they are damaged. These are all estimates in US...
